UNIQUE Art Exhibit

WCNY partnered with ARISE to present the UNIQUE Art Exhibit in its Broadcast and Education Center. The exhibit aimed to share the artistic visions and voices of individuals who have disabilities with the public, increasing awareness of the capabilities of persons with disabilities; to initiate conversation around art and literature that inspires, educates, and enlightens; and to share the experiences of persons who live with disabilities, and their joy with accomplishing freedom, success, and independence.
